Jewels return to runway at Milan Fashion Week

In general the jewelry is down to earth, with the novelty of pieces of wood used to fashion necklaces and bracelets. Ethnic jewelry of the silver-and-stones kind is also popular. Earrings tend to be large and dangling, like the ones at Marni made out of heavy stone and crystal appliques.

Bracelets usually come in strands, wrapping around the wrist like a cuff. Cavalli chose a more classic style in glittering gold and stone to go with his mini ball gowns.

Gucci was meant to be the highlight of a slow day in Milan, but although chocked with wearable styles, it never reached the fashion model spheres of past seasons. Gucci did stick with the bejeweled theme, with large brooches holding gowns together and a palette based on precious stone hues.

In the evening, the fashion crowd gathered for a gala dinner presentation of actress Gwyneth Paltrow's video clip, directed by Dennis Hopper, to promote the latest Tod's bag. Named "Pashmy Dream," it is a large ultrasoft leather sack adorned with copious leather tassels. The actress is in Milan for the presentation.
